USING GRAPHIRE2Page 23ContentsIndexDRAWING WITH PRESSUREThe Graphire2 Pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to createnatural-looking pen and brush strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to thepressure you place on the pen. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brushcharacteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by theGraphire2 Pen’s pressure-sensitivity.
